We have rearranged the seating areas in the office to ensure social
distancing measures are met. Staff should work side by side, or facing away
from each other, rather than face to face if possible. Employees are advised
if they need to contact someone in the office, use phone/email/teams. The
less face to face contact, the better.

Use of the Lifts in the Building Only use the lift if necessary; one person
at a time.

Cleaning

DBS has arranged a deep clean of the office weekly where everything in the
office will have a thorough clean – including walls, windows and carpet. We
have our daily cleaning schedule in place. Wipes to clean frequently used
equipment are available in the office. If anyone cough’s or sneeze’s they
must do this into a tissue (provided) and dispose of this in a tissue
labelled bin which is provided around the office and WASH or SANITIZE HANDS
FOR 20 SECONDS and particularly after blowing their nose, sneezing or
coughing.

Toilets

The toilets are cleaned by the building maintenance staff. If you have any
issues – please email hr@dbsne.com or call HR.

Breaks

The Kitchen area has been redesigned to implement the 2-metre rule to enable
employees use of the facility. Employees are aware they may need to queue in
the corridor with the provided spacing notices.

Smoking

Any employee smoking outside must be 2 metres apart from another, employees
are aware of this (email sent).

Fire Procedure

Use the same fire exits; however, employees must maintain the social
distancing rules, where available. When employees arrive at the side car
park – they must ensure they are at the far side maintaining a 2-metre space
from your colleague, where possible. When employees re-entre the building,
maintain the 2-metre rule still applies.
